RAILWAY MATTERS.
MAINE CENTRAL.

The regular monthly meeting of the direct
ors was held yesterday at the offices in this
city. Only routine business was transacted.
Mr.. F. W. Hill was not present, and nothing
was done in regard to the new proposed rail
road from Dexter to connect with the Ban
gor & Piscatoquis road.
PORTLAND q ROCHESTER,.
At a meeting of the directors of the Port
land & Rochester railroad, held yesterday
afternoon, a semi-annual dividend of three
per cent was made payable on and after Jan.
1st 1888.
IMPORTANT RAILROAD RUMoRs.
A rumor comes that ex-Gov. J. Gregory
Smith, acting for the Central Vermont rail-
road, has purchased the Sullivan railroad Of
the Connecticut river for 81 100000
1t was reported from two sources in Bos-
ton Wednesday night, that the reason for
the apparent apathy of the Central Vermont
in letting the Rutland go lies in the fact that
that road. backed by the Grand Trunk, has
practically secured control of the Northern
and Concord roads. While such a movement
would be a master stroke for the Grand
Trunk, it is doubtful if it has been or can be
accomplished. Another rumor claims that
the Cheshire will also go into the hands of
the Central Vermont and Grand Trunk COM
bination. The above report concerning the
Sullivan road may look in that direction If it
Is correct
Some of the principal officials of the Grand
Trunk have recently returned from London,
and 1t Is possible that the English owners of
the road have, decided to pursue an agrees
sive policy, which will give them an outlet
to Boston, free from other roads interior
ence. With the Central Vermont. Northern
and Concord in hand, the Grand Trunk
would be in position to exact its own terms
from the Boston & Maine and Fitchburg for
an entrance into Boston.
1t is quite likely also, that the fact that
the Canadian Pacific's new connection be-
tween New England and the Northwest at
ST. Paul, which is about ready for traffic,
may .have some bearing upon the Grand
Trunks movements this side of the Connec-
ticut river.
In addition to the rumors mentioned above
there are others, which lease the Cheshire to
the Fitchburg and refer to deal between
the Grand Trunk and Boston q Maine, both
of which are not at all improbable.
President j. Gregory Smith, of the Cen
trail Vermont, was asked in regard to the re-
ported acquisition of New Hampshire roads
by the Central Vermont and Grand Trunk
railroad companies. Gov. Smith was Teti-
cent concerning the alleged transactions, and
declined to make any statement at presedt
relative to the matter.

Rheumatism

According to recent investigation, is caused by
excess of Tactic acid in the blood. This acid at
tacks the brous tissues particularly in the joints
and thus causes the local manifestations of the
disease-pains and aches in the back and sholders
and In the joints at the knees, ankles hips and
wrists. Thousands of people have found in
HOODS Sarsaparilla positive and permanent cure
for rheumatism. This medicine. by its purifying
and yitalizing action, neutralzes the acidity Of
the blood, and also builds up and strengthens the
whole body.
II was laid up for six months with rheumatism,
and used many kinds of medicines without good
results, I'll one Of my neighbors told me to take

The Federal Building.

Tho people of Monroe have been spurred
to activity in the mattor of the Federal
building. They recognize the fact that
something must be done and done quickly
to get the bill before Congress for action at
tho present session and Il memorial has
been prepared setting forth the importance
and necessity for a public building at Mon
roe which will be forwarded to Washington
at once. If Gen. King (who is now in
WashingtoD} would give the matter proper
attention it looks like the measure could
DO carried through. Moro than half of the
work has been done. a bill appropriating
$50 GOO for the building passed the Senate
at the last session of Congress and it has
been reported favorably upon by the House
Committee. AL that needs to be done now
is to set tho bill before the House and Sc
cure vote upon it. The cases are rare
where the House ignores the reports of the
committees and wo are therefore sanguine
OF favorable action if the attention of the
House cal, be secured. We trust tho me-
mortal will have that effect.

The Parish versus the City.

The old fight between the parish of
Ouachita and tho city of Monroe over the
old ferry matter has been revived by the
parish instituting suit against various
business men of Monroe for 1000 DANA

Ouachita river at Monroe, independently
OF and in violation OF the rights of the par
ish, whereby the parish suffered to the
amount above set forth. $3.50 attorneys
fees for the prosecution of the suit is also
asked for. District Attorney Hudson

District Court.

Tho Fifth Judicial District Court for the
parish OF Ouachita couvcnes next Monday.
Il is the regular January jury term and
numbers of people will be called to town.
There are sixty cases on the civil docket,
forty-nine Of which, however, are brought
forward, there being only eleven cases on
the new docket. The criminal docket is
hardened with forty-three cases, most of
them for minor otfenses. There arc two
murder cases, but both murderers are at
large. Alex Jones, who killed Joe john
son for undue intimacy with his wife, hay
ing escaped Jail, and no arrest ever having
been made in the case of Nose Henry, who
killed the negro boy George and fled for
parts unknown. There is only one case
under the new law against shooting,
&C., on the public highway, ono Geo.
Johnston being the offender.

The New Jail.

Nothing has developed during the past
week pointing to change in the plans of
the police jury for the building of tho new
Jail, notwithstanding local contractors are
willing to do tho work for s., 900 less than
the Pauly Building Company bid. The
old jail lot has been sold to Father Enaut,
(the price paid being ST. ,0oo) and the COM
mittee, we understand, havo decided to
build the Jail in the southwest corner OF
the public square. We sincerely trust this
win not be done. Ii would greatly mar
the beauty of the square and obstruct tho
view of the court house. The police jury
would no doubt experience some trouble
in getting out of the contract wit Ii the Pauly
company, even if they desired to do SO, but
there can be none in changing this last
plan and securing a more eligible lot.

Stunned my eyes that csaved an answer
Moved apart
Touched my hand in good-night greeting,
Roster grew
Should 1 leave tomorrow 2-carly?
Then adieu !!
Bent her head in farewell courteous,
Onward passed,
While q cold hand gripped my heartstrings,
Hold them fast.
Still l waited, still! listened.
All my soul
Trembled in the eyes that watched her
AS she stole
Up tho stairs with measured footsteps;
But she turned
Where a lamp in brazen bracket
Brightly burned
Showed me all. the glittering ripples
OF her hair,
Yelled her eyes in violet shadows
Gliinmered where
Carved her mouth in soft compliance
AS she bent
Toward me from the dusky railing
Where she ieant.
All my love. 50 Onewhite hand wanders
10 her hair,
Slowly lifts the rose that nestles
Softly there,
Breathes she il its heart my answer,

And Loves message anutely huttors
